4.0 out of 5 stars Everything you wanted to know!, April 5, 2000

This review is from: Corn Snakes (Reptile Keeper's Guides) (Paperback)

This book is excellent for beginning snake hobbyists. It covers corn snake care, breeding and housing. The book also included some excellent pictures of the different kinds of corn snakes. Along with providing helpful hints to keeping your snake healthy, the book provides information on the correct way to obtain your first snake! In my opinion, the best part about this book was the detailed way the authors take the reader step-by-step on constructing an incubator for snake hatching. Everything in the book is well organized to provide easy reference. At the end, a helpful glossary also allows easy reference. I would recommend this book to a snake hobbyist that is interested in keeping and breeding snakes to learn the correct ways to maintain a snake's health and overall happiness.

as corn snakes are already easy to care for, this book covered everything you need. Most ov the corn snake care books i own come back to this one, as if all the books based their knowledge on this book. If you have a corn snake, or are considering getting a corn snake, and would like a book on 'em, this one aint bad for the price at ALL.
